earned his fifth save.
Diamondbacks pitcher Brandon Pfaadt allowed six runs on seven
hits in six innings. Reliever Joe Mantiply (1-1) took the loss.
Eugenio Suarez hit a three-run homer as Arizona rallied from a
6-0 deficit to tie the game at 6-6 before faltering late.
The Cardinals took a 3-0 first-inning lead. Donovan led off with
a single, Paul Goldschmidt walked and Arenado hit his first
homer since Aug. 19, 2023.
St. Louis increased its lead to 4-0 in the second inning. Winn
hit a single, moved to third on Victor Scott II's double and
scored on Donovan's sacrifice fly.
The Cardinals made it 6-0 in the third inning. Willson Contreras
dumped a single into right field and Nootbaar hit a 438-foot
homer.
Arizona threatened in the third inning when Kevin Newman hit a
lead-off single and Corbin Carroll had a one-out single. But
Jordan Walker made a diving catch on Lourdes Gurriel Jr.'s liner
to right-center field and doubled Newman off second base.
The Diamondbacks tied the game 6-6 in the fifth inning by
capitalizing on Matz's one-out error on Blaze Alexander's
tapper.
Newman hit a run-scoring double, then Ketel Marte hit an RBI
single and took second on a groundout. When Gurriel followed
with a run-scoring single, Gallegos relieved Matz and walked
Christian Walker before allowing Suarez's homer.
The Cardinals regained the lead 7-6 in the seventh inning on
Donovan's triple and Goldschmidt's RBI single. They made it 9-6
in the eighth on Walker's double, Winn's triple and Scott's
sacrifice fly.
